Vehicle Description
Here's loaded 1981 Chevrolet Corvette with all the right upgrades,
and yet it still keeps the correct originality - like the
numbers-matching V8. The result is a fresh-looking true classic
offered at a terrific price.
The factory-correct white is arguably the best color to have from
'81, because it still looks nice and modern today. Of course, it
also helps that there has been a solid investment in a professional
respray this year. So the clear coat shine really helps to
highlight the curvaceous style of the later C3s. These have
substantially less chrome than the earlier cars, and so the bright
white runs uninterrupted from the shark-like nose to the duck tail
spoiler - another great reason to invest in a respray. But as a
true American classic, it doesn't completely skip the bright work.
Now it's just used to highlight performance enhancements like the
upgraded 17-inch Ridler wheels.
Inside, the factory-correct blue leather looks great against the
exterior white. That's a good thing because the T-tops allow you to
open up to the world and let them all see this unbeatable color
combo anytime you want. And that's far from the only convenience in
this loaded 'Vette. You also have power windows, power locks, tilt
wheel, electric rear defogger, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, and
provisions for factory air conditioning. For the driver, you get a
comfortable leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel. Beyond that
is the large speedometer and tachometer package in front, and a
full gauge package prominently to the side. It's everything you
want in a true driver's classic.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. It feels
nice to have the factory motor in this 'Vette considering this is
the final year for the legendary St. Louis factory. Because of the
high level of originality, and the fact that this has averaged only
around 1,700 miles annually, it makes this affordable Corvette a
nice collector's item, too. Even the three-speed automatic
transmission is original to the car. But more than just its
history, this Corvette was meant to drive. The four-barrel
carburetor feed the torque-filled V8, and out on the road, no
American classic from this era can beat the Corvette's fully
independent suspension. Plus, there have been some nice investments
recently in new bushings, shocks, and mufflers to keep its road
manners at their best. Add in power steering, modern low-profile
tires, and four-wheel disc brakes, and you have the recipe for the
perfect all-around driving classic.
You're looking at the vintage C3 that comes with a great
factory-correct appearance, a good history, and all the right
features. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry to
grab this deal. Call now!
